Key Review Excerpts

Our mother experienced every level of living at Meth-Wick during her nearly ten years there. From independent living at Deer Ridge, to her final months at The Woodlands. Each stop was a new, refreshing experience, and for the most part, a blessing.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

EXCELLENT pt care! CLEAN environment, free of bad odors! These guys exceed staffing expectations and the director and DON walk around to ensure all is well with residents AND staff.

Agency nurse · 2023★★★★★

It is beautiful. Like a real home. The staff there is so attentive and loving it is like an extension of my mother's family.
